How to write a performance appraisal?

Answer by  patti (29325)

Create an inventory of what your expect from your employees. Then assess how each employee meets those expections (on a scale of 1-10). Suggest ideas and methods for improving.

Take into mind everything about the person - how they interact with others, how well they do their job, how much they seem to enjoy their job, etc. Avoid being too harsh, as this only inspires negativity in those being appraised.

Be direct and honest. Give praise, but only give credit where credit it due. Don't be afraid to offer critcism because this only helps people improve where they are weak or lacking. Remember to be fair, but don't pull punches when you have to. Above all, be frank and honest.

First think of each person individually and make a list of what you like about their performance and what you don't. If something stands out in your mind, this can be the focus. Divide the appraisal into two parts, accomplishments and areas of improvement. Keep it to several paragraphs each.

I would suggest looking at the job description of your employee's job, and then assess how much the employee contributed to the overall job duties and objectives during the year and point the positives and employee's room for improvement in a well written report.
